Late bloomers

Checking out the self-seeded nasturtium

Snapdragons looking good:
the geraniums didn't quite
make it into the shot ...

As I write this, the weather is lovely and mild and we've all 

Snapdragons coming back for more ...

been enjoying a bit of pottering - and in the case of Archie and Angel, snatching a bit of sunbathing - in the garden.  I'm glad I wasn't overscrupulous about tidying up the beds while weeding a few weeks ago, since as well as the seasonally appropriate bloomers like the Sedum, there has been a burst of flowering as plants make the most of the weather too. Second helpings are always nice as well as value for money!

 

... and this geum ...

and the Sedum is supposed to be flowering now!

Chilling in the garden

Chilling in the garden - or sunbathing, rather than chilling. 
This is what it's all about as far as Archie and Angel are concerned.
Yes, they enjoy sniffing around and playing games out in the garden, but now that we are finally enjoying a spell of warmer weather the beanbags are moved outdoors for them. 




While I'm toiling on tidying the flowerbeds, they love being able to soak up the sunshine out of doors where they can keep a watchful eye on the pigeons, leaping to their feet to chase them off when they get too close.

The butterflies, also using the sun-warmed slabs of patio as a sunbathing area, are however, beneath their attention and allowed to share! 

Wishing you all a peaceful and relaxing Easter, whether you are pottering in the garden or simply putting up your feet (or paws) and simply enjoying it!
